You should however name and shame the Volvo dealer you used so others can be aware of their antics. You should also have all the sales stuff in writing that they have promised they would do (free MOT, warranty work, service and £200 cash back). With this information in hand you could be at your local Trading Standards office and take the dealership to the cleaners. Above and beyond all this you should let Volvo UK know (in writing) exactly what has a happened and send them copies of the paperwork with the dealerships details and promises. The dealership would soon be brought into line. Being offered £200 cashback for purchasing on a certain weekend will be a local dealer thing and will have nothing to do with Volvo UK. I'm not suprised Volvo UK have no idea what your on about with this point. If it is a case of just verbal talk and nothing written down then I'm afraid you have not got much of a leg to stand on, but don't think just because this one dealer has ripped you off that all dealers are the same. |

Happened with me too - S40 2006 - dreaded 'anti skid service required' fault code came on. Took my car to approved Volvo dealer in London, they initially quoted £850 for the Break Control Module unit, but said Volvo UK would pay half towards it as it was a known fault.
As my car was more than 60 months old, Volvo only contributed half the cost. It would have been 100% had the car been < 60 months old. |

Hi Camevad. I have the same anti-skid service light on my motor. My Volvo dealer says it will cost me £759.00 for the part alone (brake modulator 2.3vst). Can I ask you who you contacted at Volvo & if possible could you forward the e-mail from them to "carl.hood@tiscali.co.uk" Thanks, in advance.

ABS/Anti-skid
Camecad, I am very interested to read your comments and I'd be very grateful for a copy of that letter you got from Volvo re the replacing of the faulty ABS module in your car, if you still have it. I seem to have the same problem and am looking for ammunition when I go back to my Volvo dealer, as I have a feeling they will try to avoid responsibility for the job. My car is not yet 2 years old, so maybe I'm being unnecessarily alarmed, but it's always worth being prepared......

Well I've just had an Anti-Skid service required scare.
Just been up to Scotland for Christmas and and after a 540 mile trip all was well but the following day I got in the car and done a short trip and again all seemed to be well, however on my return journey a couple of hours later I got the dredded 'Anti-Skid Service Required' message appear on the DIM - doh! Not impressed. I turnbed engine off, took out key left for a while turned engine back on again in the hope it would disappear but no the dredded message was still there. I then decided to to take the car for a short drive and done a few heavy sharp brake maneouvers and returned to the car park - still with 'Anti-Skid Service' message on dash. On parking up I turned engine off and turned back on but now the message changed to 'Anti-Skid Off'. I thought this was strange so I turned engine off and on a few times but still the DIM would show 'Anti-Skid Off'. I went for another short trip and after another couple of brake manoevers I returned to the car park again, turned engine off and back on again and this time the 'Anti-Skid Off' message had now gone and back to NO messages at all. Now days later, I've never had another Anti-Skid message and everything has been fine (touch wood). Fingers crossed as my car is a 2004 and I'd be looking at stumping up the full amount for the repair that it doesn't come back again. |

I have also got the dreaded message. Any chance you still have the email from Volvo? If you do can you possibly send it to me at shane_lawson@sky.com Holdcroft Volvo have said they will pay 50/50 but like many others I also find this unacceptable. Any help you could give would be excellent. Cheers |
